Nienna was watching the ceiling while she was lying on her bed. She was desperate for a little bit of news from the War. It had been nearly a week since Legolas had left. Nienna missed him; she needed him now more then ever. She still was not sure if he wanted to raise the child with her. She might just have the child and then give it away if she had to raise it on her own. She was also worried what her father might say.

She had discussed everything with Eowyn and she had said that she needed to talk this over with Legolas but how was she going to do that when her lover was 300 miles away.

"6 weeks, 6 weeks since it had happened." Nienna whispered to herself, trying to calculate where it had happened. "Must have been Edoras." She muttered before getting up. She had slept for a few hours. It was strange for her feeling life in her body, feeling it grow and knowing she had a connection with Legolas no matter what would happen.

She put a dress on and went in search of Eowyn. Nienna felt depressed. It was as if the end was coming. Nienna walked over the battlements and stood there looking out for a sign from the East.


Legolas slashed his sword through the nearest Orc. He wondered if they were going to see the end of it today. It had been an hour and rescuing Aragorn 5 times that the battle had began. He felt the wounds on his arm sting him, and orc has cut him before he had found its head removed from its body.

Legolas looked up at the sky when he heard the Pippin shouting. "The Eagles, the eagles have come." He smiled and with a vision from Nienna with their unborn child in his mind, he cut the next orc in the belly.

His head shot to the right when he heard Gandalf chant the name of Frodo. What he saw made his heart scream in joy, Sauron's eye had exploded, they had won. Forgetting all his dignity, he hugged Aragorn when the man came walking by. Aragorn hugged him back and Legolas felt himself being patted on the shoulder by the men around him while they congratulated each other on their victory. He only hoped that Nienna could watch this.


In Minas Tirith, Nienna felt her heart scream in joy all of sudden. The dark cloud got lifted as if it was a miracle. She heard the people around her scream in joy and their voices were lifted in a song. She felt the urge to scream but she knew that it would not be wise for her. So all she did was smile and waited until the messengers would come that would bear her to Ithilien and to Legolas.

She did not have to wait long. Two days later four of the fastest riders came bearing messengers for Eowyn and Nienna. Eomer had asked Eowyn to come and Aragorn had written a letter saying he wanted Nienna to come. So Nienna packed her stuff and made way for Ithilien.

It was a 2-day ride to where everybody had gathered. Nienna was glad that they were there. She looked in surprise to all the people that were gathered there, hoping to see a blond haired Elf prince among them. She signed when she did not see him and kept her eyes before her.

She smiled when she stopped and was helped of the horse by Aragorn. He hugged her before he looked at her from head to toe and his brow furred before he asked. "You look different. Is something bothering you?"

She shook her head, not sure if she could trust him with her secret before he whispered. "Come I will bear you away and then we can speak. Your secret will be safe."

She nodded and followed Aragorn for a walk down by the river. He smiled at her and said. "Legolas is helping some people, you will see all of them tonight. Will you tell me what is wrong?"

"I am confused." Nienna simply stated.

"Why are you confused?" Aragorn asked, looking at her more closely.

"There are things that have happened and I do not know how to deal with it." Nienna said. "I will tell you but you have to promise me that you do not tell Elrohir or anybody else until I am ready."

Aragorn nodded and Nienna took a deep breath before she said. "I am bearing Legolas's child." Aragorn looked shocked before he pulled her into a hug. Nienna felt her eyes became wet again. She was so confused and felt very weird.

"I will send Legolas to you so that you can talk about it, alright. Do not worry, it will be fine." He said before grabbing her hand and taking him with her. He told her to wait outside a door and went inside. A minute later, she heard him say inside. "Legolas, Mellon, Nienna is here. She is waiting outside."

"Alright, you will be alright here?" She heard his voice ask before his light footfall walked to the door and a second later, he was standing outside. It took Nienna every strength of willpower she had not to break down in front of him.

Legolas looked at her and then took her hand and let her an empty room. When he had closed the door, he came to her and while putting her hair behind her ears, kissed her gently. After he broke apart, he said. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, just very confused. "She answered.

Legolas nodded and looked away for a minute before looking back at her and said. 'I am happy, you know. I don't know what the future might bring but I am happy, Nienna." Nienna looked confused for second, trying to think what he meant before he smiled shyly and touched her stomach. It was a fleeting touch and Nienna almost missed it. Her eyes shot down and she grabbed his hand, guiding it underneath her shirt to lie on her bare belly. Legolas looked up and the smile returned to his lips before his eyes glanced over and his senses told him all he needed to know. They both knew they needed to talk about everything but for now they simply were content with being with each other and with the miracle they created. They would deal with the rest later.
